How to set size of JScrollPane according to JFrame size?

I have been working on a JFrame, which contains a panel of multiple components. However, the frame cannot accommodate all components due to its size. I wish to use a scrollable frame, and came across a link where JScrollPane use is suggested. However, when the frame is resized, the scroll pane container does not take up the size of the resized frame.

Is there a way to achieve this?

By default a JFrame uses a BorderLayout. When you add a component to the CENTER of the BorderLayout the component will take all the available space of the frame.

So the basic logic is:

JPanel panel = new JPanel(...);
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( panel );
frame.add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);

Set the frame to use grid layout. Gridlayout makes all of the components in the frame use up the entire size.

Container contentPane = frame.getContentPane();
contentPane.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,1));
